New Member - Research Stage
There are so many dr.s appt and classes I had to attend through my program. But I am almost there. Started Mid July and will most likely be banded mid Sept or sometime mid oct! Everyday you question is a day that you could be losing. Even if it treats the symptom you will be healthier and not so heavy. To me healthy and thinner equals happy. The band is a tool meant to help you. I say use it! Good luck girl!

Does The Band Last For Life?
I think she was just curious. To me the risk of it needing to be replaced is worth the reward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have breast implants due to them being different sizes. I've had them for over 10 years and when one pops I'll deal with it then

Chipotle!!!!!!!!
They have a calorie counter on their website that will give you all the nutritional info. I know there meats are EXTREMELY salty. But if you stay away from tortillas sour cream and cheese you will be okay!

Do Post Banders Handle Heat Better?
I'm such a sweaty mess in the summer. I'm sure it's because of all this extra weight. Do any of you notice not being super hot all the time in the summer or at night? I will certainly be looking forward to next summer.
